“Hi. We, the Satellite of Love Wooster Group, would like to present this week’s pageant, based on a movie character’s weak resemblance to a Hollywood star.”
“This week, it’s child star Richard Burton, who later went on to star in ‘Hamlet’ at the Old Vic Theater.”
Burton, not me.
Exactly. Gave my official rejection of continued employment offer today. Hopefully I can find the discipline to write as prolifically as Buke without drinking as prolifically as him.
BUK
Classic Buk. It felt appropriate after my previous post.
Monsters are important. Here’s a sketch of one I did last night while watching The Walking Dead.
I’m working on some character design for a project with the maestro Richard Carbonneau. I won’t discuss details other than to say that it’s a horror book and there will be monsters and I’m really excited for what this is turning into.
Growing up watching Universal monster movies and getting into b-grade slashers and schlock and Asian horror and so on as I got older, this is the type of project I’ve been waiting for. It’s an excuse to have fun with gross horror imagery, but the plot is working itself out to have so much more to it than just brainless grossness.
In the minds of those of us that have grown up finding companionship in monsters and robots and super heroes, etc… they come to mean a lot more than just entertainment and it’s an amazing opportunity to be able to create my own for a project that I really believe in.
For now I’m just doodling and preparing myself, but a bit of script is supposedly headed my way soon and the ball will officially be rolling. Here goes nothing.
Dear Readers!
As you may know Donny and I’s first book, Hunter Quaid, will appear in Dark Horse Presents on May 22nd. In honor of this momentous occasion, and in a shameless PR stunt, we will be serializing one page of the orignal issue of “Hunter Quaid and The No Name Dame” every week - Mystery Science Theatre Style! The orignal issue had roughly 100 hard copies, a handful of which were actually read by breathing human people!So please enjoy the book before the book!The First Page Anti-Climatically Enough is…OUR COVER!!! YEAHHHH!Love!Eliot & DonnyArt By: Melissa CurainColors & Letters By: Lauren Affe
